Viking has developed and built some of the biggest convertible sportfish yachts for over 30 years. These yachts are ideal for sportfishing, and feature the option of either open or enclosed bridges. Viking offers propulsion choices of either Caterpillar or MTU engines.
Viking Yachts was founded by brothers Bob and Bill Healey in 1964 when they bought Peterson-Viking Builders, a small, struggling New Jersey builder of 37-foot wooden sportfishing boats. Those humble beginnings, of course, led to Viking Yachts, now a world leader in semi-custom fiberglass yacht production, with over 4,000 Viking sportfish and motor yachts delivered.
With Bob Healey still at the company helm as Chief Executive Officer and deal maker and Bill as company President, chief boatbuilder, and head of Viking Yacht's in-house design and engineering teams, this family-owned and managed business is thriving. Viking Yacht Company builds over 100 high-end sportfishing yachts from 45' to 82' each year. Viking Yachts' order sheet is full for the next 12 months, depending on the model, with sales limited only by production capacity.
